    Tyl was one of the best waitress/waiters we've had the pleasure of meeting: She's extremely efficient, knowledgeable and efficient. When we asked for her opinion on various selections on the menu, she knew exactly what she thought for our tastes. Tyl is a major asset to both the restaurant and the brand. The food is always the same quality as aspected. We highly recommend both The Broadside Restaurant and Tyl . You won't be disappointed

    Our first time here and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We sat at the bar outside and enjoyed a delicious cocktail, the bar tenders were outstanding. We sat outside and enjoyed the Irish musicians. The food was delicious - slow roasted pork, beef short ribs, shepherd’s pie and chicken pie - all done to perfection. The waitstaff were attentive and friendly. We had a great night. Will be back again!

    Our server, Austin D, was awesome! He was extremely knowledgeable with the menu, including libations. This was our first experience at Summer House on the Lake; it’s safe to say we’ll be back! They have a ton of gluten free options, and the sangria was some of the best I’ve had. Definitely worth checking out and returning :)
